BM Gifts

junebug19 · April 2012

I'm curious- How much is everyone planning on spending on BM gifts? I already bought these cute purse/tote bags from etsy that I know they will all use afterward. I want to put some things in them and keep finding the nicest stuff, but I don't want to go crazy.

My two sisters are the only people I have in the wedding party on my side and they're both my MOHs. I'm super close with them...they're my best friends and since there are only 2 of them I'm totally spoiling them. I'm getting them cute beach bags off etsy, coach wristlets, something from Tiffany's (not to wear at the wedding), pashminas, flip flops and then jewelry to wear for the wedding. The total cost is around $500 but I've been picking things up here and there since the fall so it's not like I'm shelling it out all at once. The Tiffany jewerly will be the most expensive but I'm limiting it to $150 each for that and I'll get it closer to the wedding.

I am looking at about $50 or $60... but in my case they are paying A LOT to go, and taking time off work so I wanted to do something more (they are coming up to the resort for the rehearsal Fri, paying for an extra night at the resort, as well as travel costs, etc).

I'm paying for their mani/pedis & getting them a little something else.

Each girl's gift is around $60:
- Coach make up bag
- lip gloss/mini candle/note pad
-$10 star bucks card
- Fave snack or candy

I'd love to do a little coach bag but I'm not sure if all of my BMs would like that. I'm still in the planning process for the gifts.

I'll probably spend about 50-60 dollars per girl. This reminds me, I haven't started shopping yet!!!

Trins · April 2012

I'm looking at about $80ish per BM I think. So far I have:
Personalized hanger
Beach/tote bag from etsy
Bath & Body Works Lotion x2 - Large and purse sized
Earrings
Cute white flip flops - for the wedding and can still be used after

Still working on the rest

I'm only having one BM and I'm looking at $50-$100 but not sure what it will be yet. It may depend on whether or not she is pregnant when the wedding rolls around. I don't want to tease the pregnant lady with nice alcohol!

I have 7 BM so I had to keep my budget low. I planned for $30 a BM. I got them personlized wine glasses and a braclet (good thing I got these on sale, origianally $30 braclets and I got them for $10) and I plan to get them their favorite wine. We are going to a winery for my Bachelorette party so I will be paying very close attention to which ones they like!

i'm only having 2 attendants, so i am paying them to have their hair/makeup done the day of the wedding.

i'm also going to get them a pashmina for the wedding (which I don't really consider part of their gift) a little coach wristlet thing, some lip glosses and a bottle of wine.

i'll probably spend about 150 each, including hair and makeup.

I think I'm probably spend about $60 on each (I have 4 girls).

They are getting swarvoski crystal earings and bracelet to wear for the wedding (I posted them in my diy bridesmaid jewelry post yest). I think I'm also going to get them a vera bradley makeup travel bag - I love mine and she has a pattern that is kinda my wedding colors.

When I asked them to be my bridesmaids I made them hangers with their names and personalized champagne glasses too.

Good luck trying to remember who likes what after you've tasted a bunch of wines yourself!!

hollyweenOR · April 2012

I expect it'll be around $75 each when all's said and done- found some really cute wristlets that came in different colors, perfect for each of them! I'll add in a Starbucks card, lip gloss, plus probably some other little beauty products- some hand lotion, maybe pick out a nail polish for each, etc. I've got 3 gals.
